Testicular swelling and pain due to damp scrotum, what to do?

Patient's question:

Scrotal dampness, testicular swelling and pain, and frequent urination

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is important to be aware of the possibility of conditions such as prostatitis and orchitis. The main causes include the direct spread of urinary tract infections, hematogenous dissemination of infections from other parts of the body, and prostatic calculi. Additionally, various factors that cause prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, long-term cross-legged positions, and perineal trauma, are also triggers for prostatitis. Clinical symptoms are diverse, including:
1. Pain: Pain or discomfort in the perineum, pubic area, groin, lower abdomen, lumbosacral region, scrotum, testicles, and urethra.
2. Urinary abnormalities: Such as urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying, hesitation, splitting, dripping, weak stream, and nocturia.
3. Urethral discharge (white or transparent mucus discharge from the urethral meatus in the morning, at the end of urination, or during straining during defecation).
4. Impact on sexual function and fertility: Such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emissions, painful ejaculation, and yellow semen.
5. Neurasthenia or mental symptoms: Such as dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, frequent dreams, and anxiety.
Therefore, it is recommended that you consult a hospital for a health checkup related to the prostate and other relevant conditions based on your personal situation. Follow medical advice according to the examination results. If convenient, you may come to our hospital, Ningbo Oya Urology Hospital, for an examination.
In daily life, pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, drinking plenty of water, avoiding prolonged sitting, avoiding excessive masturbation or sexual activity, engaging in appropriate physical exercise, and maintaining a regular lifestyle. Wishing you good health!
